Prof. Orfield Quoted in Washington Post

Professor Myron Orfield—director of the Institute on Metropolitan Opportunity—was quoted in The Washington Post about HUD's refusal to provide a neighborhood preference for affordable housing in San Francisco. "Neighborhood preferences in the age of a color-blind Supreme Court are dangerous," says Prof. Orfield. "Why on earth wouldn’t a white suburb put a residency requirement on their subsidized housing? The Supreme Court—until Merrick Garland gets in there—would have a hard time saying 'if one’s okay, why isn't the other one?'"
